AN-1641 LM2747-19A Demo Board
1
Introduction
This user's guide describes the LM2747 printed circuit board (PCB) design and provides an example
typical application circuit. The LM2747 is a voltage mode PWM buck controller that implements
synchronous rectification. It provides a low cost, high power density, and efficient point of load solution. In
steady state operation the LM2747 is always synchronous, even at no load, thus simplifying the
compensation design. The LM2747 ensures a smooth and controlled start-up when the output is prebiased. The current limit protection does not require a current limit resistor in the power path, but is
achieved by sensing the voltage VDS across the low side MOSFET. Though the control sections of the IC
are rated for 3 to 6V (VCC), the driver sections are designed to accept input supply rails (VIN) as high as
14V.

Specifics of the Board
This demo board targets the fixed and mobile telecommunications, industrial electronics, and distributed
power markets. The demo board has a VIN range of 8V to 14V and a LDO regulator, the LP2937, powers
VCC by regulating a 5V output voltage. The LM2747 regulates to an output range of 1.2V to 3.3V at 19A
with a switching frequency of 300 kHz. Note, the demo board is optimized for the above parameters, thus
for additional design modifications refer to the Design Consideration section of the LM2747 data sheet.
The PCB is designed on four layers, the top and bottom layers are 2oz. copper and the two inner layers
are 1oz. copper. The board measures 2.19 in. × 1.03 in. × 0.41 in. (56 mm × 26.2 mm × 10.3 mm) (l, w, h)
on a FR4 laminate.

Feature Options
When the tracking feature of the LM2747 is required for use, remove the jumper that connects the softstart capacitor C10 and connect the resistor divider, on designators R13 and R14, see Figure 1. The Track
terminal has been provided for your connecting convenience. The demo board is synchronize ready, just
connect an external clock to the SYNC terminal. Note, increasing the switching frequency results in a
lower inductor current ripple and input and output voltage ripple (if the component values are kept the
same). Monitor the MOSFET junction temperature since switching losses will increase, and do not exceed
the maximum junction temperature of the MOSFET. Refer to the MOSFET manufacturer datasheet for
maximum junction temperature specification and heat sinking guidelines.

complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
